This presentation will highlight the results of a multi-year, multi-site evaluation of a collaborative teen suicide prevention program in two high-schools and a homeless youth shelter in Denver. The intervention, designed to be a collaboration among multiple partners, included education, screening and treatment of youth in these three urban sites. The evaluation used a mixed-methods approach to examine both the success of the collaborative as well as the results of the intervention in reducing suicide ideation among participants.
